Makes: 4 Servings
Ingredients
1 red onion, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 bag (14 oz) coleslaw mix
1-2 limes
4 tilapia fillets, or any white fish, about 1½ lb total
8 small corn tortillas
1 tsp chili powder or Caribbean Jerk Seasoning
Salsa of your choice
Optional Toppings: Tomato, avocado, guacamole, plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Mix onion, cilantro, coleslaw, and juice of half a lime in a bowl and set aside.
- Heat your oven to the broil setting. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Lightly sprinkle fish fillets with chili powder or Caribbean Jerk Seasoning and lime juice and place on the baking pan.
- Move the rack in your oven about 6 inches from the top burner and place your baking sheet on that rack. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until fish is fully cooked. You will know the fish is done when it flakes.
- Heat 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a frying pan and lightly fry tortillas for a few seconds, or heat tortillas in the microwave oven until softened and hot (10-15 seconds).
- Fill tortilla with fish, coleslaw mix, and cilantro and fold in half. Serve with salsa or optional toppings, if desired.
